About us
Last updated: 01/07/2026
Bristol NHS Foundation Trust (BFT) formed on 1 July 2026, bringing together North Bristol NHS Trust and University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust.
BFT looks after people in Bristol, Weston, South Gloucestershire, North Somerset and across the South West. By working as one team, we can give better, more joined-up care. This is still ongoing, but we are making real progress every day.
We are one of the largest NHS hospital trusts in the UK. More than 28,000 staff care for over 1.5 million people each year, providing care 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
